Tibet House Trust
Tibet House Trust is the official Tibetan UK registered charity, inaugurated in 1994 by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the patron of the Trust. Its purpose is to preserve the distinct Tibetan culture, identity and enable the Tibetan to attain a sustainable life in exile while working for an eventual return to their homeland. Our aim is to relieve the poverty of people of Tibetan origin, provide assistance in the field of health and education, support relief and rehabilitation projects for Tibetan and preserve Tibetan identity and culture.
The Trust is the official channel through which funding from the international donors is received and directed to the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala, India headed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. In addition, the Trust helps administer humanitarian and development aid received by the Tibetan community in exile.
Since its inception, the Tibet House Trust has become the primary funding and works closely with various Departments of Central Tibetan Administration and institutions on a number of projects for health, educational, cultural, economic and community development programs in the exile community. With the continued influx of new refugees through dangerous crossing over the Himalayas each year for freedom. More than 60 percent of refugees are children and youth who flee Tibet in search of a better education and economic opportunity. Tibetan exile schools are overcrowded and their resources stretched to the limit. The Tibet House Trust is working to support programs that will strengthen the refugees' education and economic prospects.

Preserving Tibetan Language & Culture
Whether Tibetan are growing up in abroad or remain behind in Tibet, Tibetan children are at great risk of not being able to speak and read Tibetan.
